Biking

I went back to kampong again for the second time this holiday.Brother and I will not let go of the opportunity to go cycling together at the town’s area.So, after visiting grandma and our relatives, we went to our cousin’s house and borrowed two bikes from him.It was the coolest biking experiences ever.

We cycled along the river near my cousin’s house.We saw the biggest bee hive.It was suspended above the river on an old tree.We were awestrucked by its immense size .After that, we cycled toward our next destination, the port.There was a port that those fishing boats assembled to gather their catchments. There was a river which was congested with all red boats to differentiate them from others. Red and blue boats mean that they were fishing boats.There were many houses near the river.That place is considered a fishing village because the houses were built on a river with the support of the pile.I heard mum said before if we live near the sea, we might be darker than those living in city because the sea wind might that was rushing toward us could made our skin darker.Therefore, we checked out the people living there. It was quite obvious that the people there were darker. Their dark complexion was not those tanned, shiny complexion , but their skin colour was more to dull black colour. We cycled to a jetty. It was a dilapidated jetty that looked as if it would collapse soon. I walked on the jetty and looked at my surrounding.The river was polluted and there were rubbish everywhere, blocking the flow of the river.I saw many white specks dotting the blue sky and putting colours on the temple’s view at the other side of the river. Then, we cycled to the dam the edge of the river overlooking those boats.We were thrilled to see the whole commandeer of the boats gathering at the side of the river.We managed to dodge many vehicles, regardless of cars and motorcycles to reach the shoplots. We saw many seafood restaurants .Sekinchan is famous for its delicious seafood and its vast paddy fields. We passed by a Buddhist temple and a Hindus temple.The Buddhist temple there was famous for its deep well with many tortoises crawling and wandering at the bottom of the well.

We passed by a motorcycle repair shop.Last time, the bicycle that brother ride got spoilt because the chain of the bike was too loose.There was a boy working at the workshop helped us to repair the bike.It was kinda cool seeing him fixing a bicycle.Nowadays, how many boys out there know all these things about machineries and tool work.I was impressed by his dexterity in fixing the bike.He was kinda cute actually.

After we dodged some cars and got honked by few cars, we went back withsmiles on our face.

We went Kuala Selangor before going home.Sis was feeling hungry so we had to get some food for her.We went along the shops in KS.We didn’ t expect to bump into two seafood restaurants that were congested with KL customers.Every cars that parked near the restaurants were from KL.KL people were damn rich that they went such a long way to Kuala Selangor just to have dinner.Anyway, we went back home at around 9 because we had to fetch brother from his working place.We had our dinner in BKT Tinggi.
